Chapter 722: War Erupts

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Qin Yun led a very carefree life.

After all, he had gained eternal life and no longer had the pressing problem of death. He could tour the Small Worlds in the Three Realms without any worries.

It had been 116 years since Qin Yun successfully transcended the tribulations. In this past century or so, Qin Yun and his wife toured hundreds of Small Worlds, but of course, they were still far from visiting all the Small Worlds in the Three Realms.

“Brother Yun, at the speed we are touring the Small Worlds, we will probably not even finish touring all the Small Worlds in more than a hundred million years.” Yi Xiao and Qin Yun ate by the streets with two tiny bowls of snacks.

“Each Small World has its unique traits. It’s not worth it if we rush. The speed at which we are going isn’t considered slow,” Qin Yun said with a smile. “Why, do you wish for it to be faster?”

“No, no, no. I’m in no way in a hurry.” Yi Xiao giggled.

Just as they were conversing—

A calamity that swept through the Three Realms suddenly began!

It came without any signs. Even for someone of Qin Yun’s strength, he did not notice it in any way. After all, these plans had been schemed within the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss. Even the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor were unable to spy upon these plans! Furthermore, the Fiend Ancestor personally hid these plans from the heavenly secrets.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

All the dominions in the Three Realms had space warp across the infinite cosmos. Squadrons of fiendish cultivators were sent into different parts of space.

“Oh?”

These fiendish cultivator squadrons were formed by an early-stage Skyfiend and five Fiendcelestials. They would be transported to the space around a planet through the distortion of space.

“It’s this Small World. Let’s enter,” bellowed the leading Skyfiend.

“Let’s go!” The five Fiendcelestials were also burning with anxiety.

This squadron of fiendish cultivators flew into the Small World.

Nearest to them in another area was a squadron formed of three Skyfiends.

“We’ve arrived at the Small World.”

“We need to conquer this Small World. Quickly enter.”

The three Skyfiends rapidly charged into the Small World.

…

This large-scale transference required the Fiend Ancestor’s three avatars to act at the same time. Each of his avatars were teleporting hundreds of squadrons simultaneously! With all three working together in unison at full strength, he could teleport thousands of squadrons at the same time.

There were also his Ancestral Fiend subordinates who were doing their best. These Ancestral Fiends also mass teleported the squadrons, including Patriarch Blood Sea who had split up into numerous Blood Sea avatars. As for King of Myriad Fiends Boxun, his true body and six avatars were doing their best. All of them employed whatever means they had. Together, they could teleport thousands, if not tens of thousands of squadrons.

These were fiend cultivator squadrons.

The strongest were at the ninth firmament Skyfiend realm! There were even a small number with strength at the half-step Ancestral Fiend realm, or even those that matched the Ancestral Fiend realm.

The weakest were only at the first firmament Fiendcelestial realm! There were some Small Worlds which had sparse Heaven and Earth spiritual energies, making the cultivation limit the Connate realm. For example, Meng Huan’s homeworld from when Qin Yun dreamed a hundred years; therefore, these Small Worlds simply needed a few weak Fiendcelestials to conquer them.

There were Skyfiends to Fiendcelestials… making the number of squadrons numerous.

In order to gain a chance of survival, the Fiend Ancestor had even lowered himself into involving all three of his avatars in the operation. With sufficient preparations, this large scale transferences happened extremely quickly.

“What are the fiends doing?” The Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor instantly sensed it. Many mighty figures sensed it as well.

After all, the scale of such transferences had targeted the countless Small Worlds in the Three Realms.

“This is…”

Qin Yun was astounded as the snack he was holding fell to the ground. He could sense countless spatial fluctuations in the Three Realms in that blink of an eye. More than 20 million fiendish cultivator squadrons of varying strengths had entered the different Small Worlds.

“Brother Yun?” Yi Xiao was still puzzled.

“Something serious has happened,” said Qin Yun seriously.

…

In the Heavenly realm’s Mt. Lightning Roar.

Qin Yun’s actual body which was in seclusive meditation exited seclusion.

“Another Daoist-Fiend war has started?” Qin Yun’s eyes flashed fiercely. With a series of whooshing sounds, countless beams of light flew out from his body, turning into numerous Qin Yuns.

There was a huge crowd, a total of 120,000 Qin Yuns appearing above Mt. Lightning Roar.

Following that, these 120,000 Qin Yuns stepped through the void and departed the Heavenly realm, heading for different areas in space.

Although at his limit…

Qin Yun could split his Essence Soul into 129,600 avatars, but that would lead to his actual body being too weak! It would cause a fatal weakness. Now, by splitting into 120,000 avatars… his main Essence Soul would still have about ten percent of its strength left. By staying in Mt. Lightning Roar and presiding over the massive array, together with the Misty Rain Array and Soul Heart Fruits, Qin Yun had the confidence that he could face certain dangers.

“Whoosh.”

One of Qin Yun’s avatars arrived in a particular area of space. A squadron of fiendish cultivators were charging towards the Small World.

“Obliterate.” With a flick of his sleeve, the void shattered into countless particulates as the fiendish squadron fell into despair. “No—”

All of them were pulverized.

“Kill!”

Another avatar rushed to another piece of space. With a wave of his hand, countless Sword Qi whistled towards another squadron of fiendish cultivators, destroying them entirely.

There were some which were a little too slow.

“They have flown into the Small Worlds. I was a little too slow.” Qin Yun watched one fiendish squadron fly into the confines of the Small World, but he could do nothing about it. He was ultimately one of the strongest existences beneath the Heavenly Dao realm. Even though it was just one of his 120,000 avatars, with extremely weak strength, his realm was still very high. It wasn’t difficult for him to produce strength at the half-step mighty figure level.

“Obliterate.”

“Kill!”

“I’m a little too slow for this.”

The 120,000 avatars pursued across different regions.

As the sequence of events involved him sensing the spatial fluctuations to know the enemies’ destination before he could arrive to kill, this traversal of space required some time too. The enemies were teleported to spots very near to the Small Worlds, and they charged in at the fastest speed possible. Just being slightly slow would prevent him from catching up to them.

“They are all rather weak squadrons. My 120,000 avatars have already successfully killed more than 30,000 squadrons. But the strongest squadrons are only led by early-stage Skyfiends.” Qin Yun frowned. “The Fiend Ancestor is very cunning. Those ninth firmament Skyfiends and most powerful group of Skyfiends… were sent in during the first wave. There was no way to stop them in time.”

…

The first batch that were teleported had their safety pretty much guaranteed. Qin Yun and company failed to stop them in time.

From the second batch onwards, only small numbers were intercepted.

However, against 20,000,000 squadrons in each batch, the mighty figures in the Three Realms were helpless as well. After all, Qin Yun was the only who could send 120,000 avatars in the Three Realms. It was a unique skill he gained after transcending the final Itinerant Immortal tribulation. Therefore, when it came to interception, Qin Yun could be considered number one under the Heavenly Dao realm! Even the Dao Ancestors, Buddhist Ancestor, and Goddess Nüwa took action personally.

They were extremely powerful and were able to attack different areas at the same time. Their interception was even better than Qin Yun’s.

“The fiends are really unwilling to give up. Are they planning to stir the flames of war again?” Guan Yin was overlooking the Three Realms as she waved her hands, sending streams of light bearing down which tore through space and attacked different areas.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Many fiendish cultivator squadrons didn’t even see an enemy. They were reduced to nothingness by powers that swept through space.

Such means were also what most mighty figures used to intercept the fiends. They were unable to split into 120,000 avatars like Qin Yun, but they could also do many things at the same time, attacking many different regions simultaneously.

******

“Three Pure Ones, Gautama, and Nüwa, how many can you stop?” In the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, the Fiend Ancestor’s destruction body was in a frenzy. He had a massive array formation set up around him. His other male and female bodies were also surrounded by their own array formations.

With the aid of these array formations, the transference could be done much more easily.

The three avatars were doing the transference with all their might.

Transference without set destinations were easier, and it was harder to kill them.

Moments later—

Massive numbers of fiendish cultivator squadrons that had been amassed over the past hundred over years were all sent out.

Qin Yun’s 120,000 avatars were scattered across space in the Three Realms, watching the various Small Worlds.

“The fiends sent a total of 630 million squadrons. Only 8 million were intercepted. Most of them were intercepted by the Dao Ancestors, Buddhist Ancestor, and Goddess Nüwa. Although I have many avatars, I only managed to intercept about 300,000 squadrons.” Qin Yun wore a heavy expression. “And the small number of squadrons intercepted have little influence over the fiends’ progress.”

Followed by a sigh, all his 120,000 avatars retreated and returned to the Heavenly realm’s Mt. Lightning Roar.

Countless beams of light entered his body as Qin Yun felt his heart heavy. He knew that the countless Small Worlds in the Three Realms would face a huge calamity, and what he could do was very limited.

“Disciple, quickly come to Green Touring Palace.” A voice sounded in his mind.

“Yes, Master.” Qin Yun immediately responded and rushed to Green Touring Palace.
